This month’s tip is all about using our T-Guage with Kelly, our JUKI National Trainer! If you like a consistent seam gauge for your seam allowances and use maybe one, or maybe even two seam allowances the T- Gauge is for you. What we’re going to do in our video below is set this up so we can follow a perfect quarter-inch seam or half-inch seam.
You’ll see this accessory can help with different seams and is easy to attach. We have a mounting plate right here on our TL-18QVP that we’re going to be working on.
To start we’re going to put the two screws in that come with our T-Guage. We’re going to put these in lightly so that we can tighten them after I put my gauge on the quarter-inch seam.
We love the accuracy of the gauge because we can use our fast speed on the TL-18QVP to sew and maintain a consistent seam every time. After you’re set-up, use your seam gauge to double-check the measurement from the needle.
In our video we’re working on the perfect quarter-inch seam! After you decide on spacing, you’re going to tighten those screws and check the accuracy again because it tends to move when you tighten that screw. Ours looks great! Now we will have a consistent 1/4 inch seam all set.
In our video you can watch as we guide our fabric right next to the seam and use the full speed setting on the TL-18QVP.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this tip on how to set up your T-Guage and when to sue it. The Haruka TL-18QVP with our T-Gauge gives you wonderful accuracy for seam allowances! thank you for joining us today and we look forward to seeing you next time on a tip or project with JUKI.
Happy holidays!
